“On the Avenue in front of the White House were several hundred colored people, mostly women and children, weeping and wailing their loss. This crowd did not diminish through the whole of that cold, wet day; they seemed not to know what was to by their fate since their great benefactor was dead, and though strong and brave men wept when I met them, the hopeless grief of those poor colored people affected me more than almost anything else.” PeopleKnowsMenChildrenWarWholeHouseStrongLossWhitePoorGriefFateFrontsColdMetsHundredBraveCrowdsCivil WarHopelessAffectedWhite HouseWetDiminishWeepingAvenuesBrave ManBenefactorsWailing Author:Gideon Welles
